Koa can be so pretty - I'll probably never have one, other stuff always grabs my eye - but here's a nice one.

Dangerous, is it just the light or is yours really that tan/coffee of a color? I like the look of that much more than the typical reddish brown of koa. also, what kind of finish is that? that guitar's a real beaut

The light is making it look just a little lighter in color than it actually is. The finish is clear satin..

Is this a warmoth? I asked ages ago about the ernie ball shape and they told me that the price for a license from ernie ball was stupidly high. Would love to have a custom spec'd music man :(

Just order a pre-routed body blank from Warmoth and cut it out. Simple shape to make.

They used to make that shape (called VW) but got pressured by The Man, so now they cannot make it.

You're sorta right, it was just the VW, and they also had the VW carved top...
 
maybe we should design something similar to an music man, but make it a warman  :laughing7:

We should get a little project on the go to design a new body shape or something, that would be cool to get involved in!
 
Somebody hold me back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARGH! have just enough to get this body, but i would need to find some way of selling stuff to make up the difference!

So? Do it. It's easy to sell stuff - just forget about want, and consider need. If you haven't used something in the last year or so, chances are you don't need it. If it turns out you need it in the future, buy another one. With most gear, the chances are it'll be a better piece that does more anyway, and if you don't wait until you're desperate, you can buy it used from somebody who is, most likely at considerable savings over new.

So, yeah. Buy that thing and get it out of my sight before I buy it. That's an exceptional piece you won't see anywhere else.
 
Ruddy three pronged attack:
1. Makes me want another 5 string even though im trying to stick to a warmoth 4 string next.
2 Seriously considering having a go at active pups on this just to justify buying it.
3. I want quilt, Its some mighty fine quilt, damnit  :sad:

WHY WARMOTH WHY!!!!
 
Hmmm.. Add a fully scalloped maple neck with large headstock, put in Di Marzio YJM pups..

Should I? Should I???  Someone tell me it's a bad idea before i go for it..
